Folk at The Woolpack Hotel

Folk song and music sessions on the second Tuesday of every month

The regular song and music sessions in Tenterden have been running since 1992 and now take place on the second Tuesday of every month in the bar of The Woolpack Hotel right in the High Street, next door to The Town Hall. The Woolpack is a traditional English public house with plenty of character including wooden floors and beams.

A typical folk evening sees between 10 and twenty folk singers and musicians from Kent and Sussex gathering in the bar from around 8.00 p.m. and the music starts at about 8.30 and continues to 11.00. All folk singers, musicians, storytellers and poets are welcome to come along and join in, or you can just come and listen to the music. The music is mainly traditional English but also includes contemporary, blues, Irish, Scottish, European music, music hall and acapella: in fact most good acoustic music with a smattering of stories and poems.

With the barn at the back, a marquee in the garden and the Town Hall next door, The Woolpack is also established as an important venue during the annual Tenterden Folk Festival.  Also The Woolpack regularly runs a real ale beer festival and hog roast for the festival.
